Replying again to say: that actually makes sense. You should have said that upfront! Suddenly being locked out of critical software is definitely a risk worth considering

Why?

His actual goal is in the final sentence of the article and has nothing to do with moral intent.

It’s more about scale. Small open source projects might get one PR a month. Your average tech company is dealing with dozens of PR every single day. Review fatigue is real in these environments

He had an interview with Google and they asked him to invert a binary tree, which is essentially taking a tree of data and swapping the positions of all sibling nodes.

While most people agreed it was a pretty pointless question to ask at an interview, mxcl had a full “don’t you know who I am” shit fit on social media.

If anyone hasn’t made the connection, mxcl is the infamous Google interview binary tree guy

It wasn’t about video length, it was about the Twitter leadership at that time being categorically incapable of monetizing any of their products.

Combine that with the orders-of-magnitude higher cost of running Vine compared to the bird, and it was always either going to be sold off or shut down.

It’s easy to forget that this was back in the time when these companies thought they were changing the planet for the better and drinking their own Kool aid by the gallon.

Great summary, but I want to point out that the reality of why they’re doing this is to pander to racist voters who were told their opinion by a highly effective villification campaign against this woman in tabloid newspapers.

Once these things gain traction, politicians always kowtow to the loudest public opinions

I’ll give you 0.25

1. Mix with honey

2. Dip chipolata sausages

1. Try increasing hotend temp for first few layers and hotbed temp throughout
2. Try moving z closer for first layer
3. Repeat both of above in small increments

FWIW, those PEI sheets usually need higher bed temp than the regular sheets

Yes it’s called ‘You left your carbon footprints on my heart’

nothing purrsonal kit

I hope he takes this firing as a window of opportunity. With the right attitude he can really ground himself.

Woah, where does the US have preclearance? I thought it was nonexistent

It depends on your intent. If you’re doing it to keep history clean and linear in the long term, it’s a huge waste of time as it gets splatted into a single squashed merge commit. It also makes it difficult for reviewers to rereview your changes as GitHub/Lab can’t calculate the diff because you keep moving the goalposts with force pushes.

If you’re doing it for cleanliness on your local branch then I guess that’s fine, but I find it anti-social in a multi participant repo.

I tried to refuse pay for on call recently as it has tax implications that I didn’t want to do deal with, but my employer refused.

So, yeah, take it up with them you bunch of bankers.

Agreed. I’ve been trying to explain to someone recently why rebasing and force pushing their feature branch has no benefit when we use a squash commit strategy for merging to main.

Again, tools are not blame, but when combined with a lack of understanding and accumulated “git dogma”, it can be quite disheartening.
